No US oil company should risk investing in Venezuela. Companies that take part in Trump's lawless takeover of Venezuela's resources should keep in mind that any American tax dollars they take to invest in a foreign country will be recovered by the next administration.

DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: “🇺🇸 had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.”

We’ve seen how these types of ill-advised and unnecessary regime change operations work out: more death, more destabilization, and more expensive, forever wars. No one wants this. Add your name:
NO U.S. Occupation In Venezuela
Trump keeps telling us that he’s going to stop endless wars and lower costs. Now, he’s spending taxpayer dollars to invade Venezuela, capture its President, Nicolás Maduro, and declare that the US…

Now that Trump says Venezuela will hand over 30-50 million barrels of oil, with proceeds of sales to be controlled by him, I want to reiterate: He's inviting our oligarchs to reap great riches by buying into his scheme of imperial hemispheric domination.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Elon Musk, the Republican Party's largest funder in the 2024 election, runs a social media platform that is creating child pornography. I remember a time when that would have concerned Republicans. But apparently not anymore when money is involved.

“Predator force”
“We are the dominant predator force in the Western hemisphere.”
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

What a disgrace.
Scores of now-pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionists will gather from 11:45am for a march to the Capitol starting at the Ellipse.

One insurrectionist who says he's attending: Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to prison until 2045 until Trump intervened.

What is just crazy about this, aside from the need for this statement at all, is that Greenland already IS in the US sphere of influence. It's far cheaper for the US, in material, security, and reputational terms, to have Denmark continue administering Greenland and work within NATO on security.

The DOJ was required to release all Epstein files, with limited exceptions, by December 19.

According to a court filing last night, the DOJ has released only 12,285 documents.

More than 2 MILLION documents remain unreleased.

We can call the Jan 6 insurrection a whole lot of things, but "failed" probably isn't one of them. Ultimately, it succeeded, and the former US is now fully in the grips of the MAGA fascist movement.
